Camera cleaning instructions

Camera cleaning instructions

This chapter describes safety instructions/cautions valid for Manta cameras in
case of cleaning lenses, optical filters/protection glass or sensors.

Warranty

Note



Caution



• Please read these instructions before you contact your
AVT camera dealer for assistance.

• Ask your AVT camera dealer if you are not familiar with
the procedures described below.

Warranty precautions

• To ensure your warranty remains in effect:
– Do not open the camera housing.
– Follow instructions described below.
– Use only optical quality tissue/cloth if you must clean

a lens or filter.

– Use only optics cleaner (60% ethyl alcohol, 40%

ether). Never use aggressive cleaners like benzine or
spirit. Such cleaners may destroy the surface.

– Do not use compressed air which can push dust

into camera and lens.

• AVT does not warranty against any physical damage to
the sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses. Use utmost
care when cleaning optical components.

Avoiding the necessity of camera cleaning

When screwing/unscrewing the camera lens or dust cap, hold the camera with
the C-Mount / CS-Mount opening towards the floor as shown in figure 1. This
minimizes the possibility of any contaminants falling on the glass surface.
Always store cameras and lenses with dust-caps installed.

Camera cleaning instructions

Is it an impurity? – Identifying impurities

If you observe any image artefacts in your video preview of your Manta camera
you may have impurities either on the lens, filter/protection glass or, on the
sensor protection glass. Every Manta camera gets cleaned prior to sealing and
shipment; however, impurities may develop due to handling or unclean envi­ronments.

As shown in figure 2, impurities (dust, particles or fluids) on the sensor or
optical components appear as a dark area, patch or spot on the image and
remain fixed in the preview window while you rotate the camera over the target.

Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which appears as a distinct point. Parti­cles can either rest loosely or can be more or less stuck to the optical surface.

Figure 2: Image with tiny dust on the filter (left) and dust on the sensor (right)

Where is the impurity? – Locating impurities

Before you dismount the lens you should find out if the impurity is on the filter,
lens or sensor. Therefore, you should capture a uniform image (e.g. a white
sheet of paper) with the camera. The affected optical surface is identified when
a suspected optical component is moved and the dirt follows this movement.

1. If you move only the lens (not the camera) and the impurity moves as
well, the impurity is on the lens.

2. If you move the IR cut filter/protection glass window and the impurity
moves as well:

Please carefully remove the filter/protection glass and clean it on both
sides using the techniques explained below.

Note

• Taking out the filter requires special care.

• Ask your dealer to help you if you are not
confident with the procedure.

3. If the impurity is neither on the lens nor the IR cut filter/protection glass,
it is probably on the sensor.

Cleaning Instructions

Perform all cleaning operations (lenses, filter/protection glass, and sensor) in
a dust-free clean-room. The optical components are very fragile so it is import­ant to avoid touching them with your fingers or any hard material.

1. Unplug the camera from any power supply before cleaning.

2. Apply a small amount of optics cleaner (60% ethyl alcohol, 40% ether) to
a clean, new lens cleaning tissue.

Acceptable material includes medical-grade sterile optical cotton, or lens
tissue that is chemically pure and free from silicones and other additives.

– Do not use cosmetic cotton.
– Do not use consumer eyeglass cleaning cloths pre-treated with silicon.

The cotton or lens tissue should be moist, but not dripping. Please hold
the camera away from your body to avoid falling particles like flakes from
skin on the sensor. Hold the camera sensor diagonally upwards.

lens tissue (as described
above).

Caution



6. If you want to clean your camera with compressed air despite of all the
warnings:

Caution



7. Gently blow the impurities off with dust-filtered, oil-free air (< 1 bar).
Using ionized air helps to remove any dirt stuck to the optical component
because of static electricity.

Note

• Never wipe lenses with dry swabs or tissue—this causes
scratches.

• Do not use any disposable cotton cosmetic swabs; they
may contain contaminants.

• Use an air blower/compressed air only if you are familiar
with cleaning a camera with this instrument.

• Compressed air may push dust into cameras and
lenses. Therefore, keep the pressure at a moderate
strength only:

– The pressure at the tube should be less than 1 bar (15

psi)

– Operating distance: 5–30 cm

If dust spots remain after cleaning twice,
please contact your AVT dealer.

Manta GigE cameras

Manta GigE cameras

Manta Manta cameras have a Gigabit Ethernet interface.

GigE GigE is the abbreviation for Gigabit Ethernet.

All AVT Manta cameras are GigE Vision V1.2 compliant cameras with Gigabit
Ethernet interface. AVT Manta cameras work with Gigabit Ethernet hardware
and cable lengths up to 100 m.

GigE Vision The GigE Vision standard is an interface standard for digital machine vision cam-

eras widely supported in the industrial imaging industry. In contrast, GigE
(Gigabit Ethernet) is the network GigE Vision is built upon.

GenICam GenICam is the command structure for the GigE Vision camera controls. GenI-

Cam is administered by the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA). GenI­Cam establishes a common camera control interface allowing third-party soft­ware to communicate with cameras from various manufacturers without cus­tomization. AVT GigE cameras are GenICam V1.0 compliant.

PoE capable cameras

How can I distinguish between PoE capable cameras and
cameras that are not PoE capable?

PoE capable cameras have the letters PoE written on the
camera’s label on the bottom side of the camera.

All measurements were done without protection glass / with­out filter.

The uncertainty in measurement of the QE values is 10%.

This is due to:

• Manufacturing tolerance of the sensor

• Uncertainties in the measuring apparatus itself (Ulbricht
sphere, optometer, etc.)

The measurements for Manta G-145B NIR in figure 21 and
figure 22 were done with a different method to illustrate the
effect of the NIR mode.

Filter and lenses

The following tables list selected image formats in width x height depending
on camera type, distance and the focal length of the lens.

Note

Lenses with focal lengths < 8 mm may show shading in the
edges of the image due to microlenses on the sensor's pixel.

Ask your dealer if you require non C-Mount lenses.

Gigabit Ethernet port

The Gigabit Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T standard for
Gigabit Ethernet over copper. To prevent EMI (electromagnetic interference)
and for best performance, Category 6 (or higher) cables with S/STP shielding
and connectors are recommended.

Video iris output description

Manta cameras provide built-in video type auto-iris controls.

Caution



Damage to the lens

The following schematic uses CAMERA POWER to power the
video iris lens and assumes CAMERA POWER = 12 V. Most video
iris lenses operate at a 8–16 V input voltage. Therefore, this
circuit is not appropriate if using a 24 V camera power supply.
Doing so may irreparably damage your lens. Please consult
your video iris lens specifications for the appropriate drive
voltage.

Signal Description

GPO Configured to be a general purpose output, control of which is assigned to

SyncOutGpoLevels

AcquisitionTriggerReady Active once the camera has been recognized by the host PC and is ready to start

acquisition

FrameTriggerReady Active when the camera is in a state that will accept the next frame trigger

FrameTrigger Active when an image has been initiated to start. This is a logic trigger internal

to the camera, which is initiated by an external trigger or software trigger
event

Exposing Active for the duration of sensor exposure

FrameReadout Active at during frame readout, i.e. the transferring of image data from the

CCD to camera memory

Imaging High when the camera image sensor is either exposing and/or reading out

data

Acquiring Active during an acquisition stream

SyncIn1 Active when there is an external trigger at SyncIn1

SyncIn2 Active when there is an external trigger at SyncIn2

Strobe1 The output signal is controlled according to Strobe1 settings

Term Definition

Exposure High when the camera image sensor is integrating

light.

Readout High when the camera image sensor is reading out

data.

Trigger latency Time delay between the user trigger and the start

of exposure

Trigger jitter Error in the trigger latency time

Trigger ready Indicates to the user that the camera will accept

the next trigger.

Registered exposure time Exposure time value currently stored in the camera

memory.

Exposure start delay Registered Exposure Time subtracted from the

Readout time and indicates when the next expo­sure cycle can begin such that the exposure will
end after the current Readout.

Interline time Time between sensor row readout cycles.

Imaging High when the camera image sensor is either

exposing and/or reading out data.

Idle High if the camera image sensor is not exposing

and/or reading out data.

Table 42: Trigger definitions

Trigger rules

Note

The user trigger pulse width should be at least three times the
width of the trigger latency as indicated in Specifications on
page 24.



•The end of exposure will always trigger the next Readout.

•The end of exposure must always end after the current Readout.

•The start of exposure must always correspond with the Interline Time if

Readout is true.

• Exposure start delay equals the Readout time minus the Registered Expo-

sure Time.

Triggering during the Idle State

For applications requiring the shortest possible trigger Latency and the small­est possible trigger jitter the User trigger signal should be applied when Imag­ing is false and Idle is true.

Manta Technical Manual V7.0.3

97

Camera interfaces

Triggering during the Readout State

For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera
image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, then the User trigger
signal should be applied as soon as a valid trigger Ready is detected.

In this case, trigger Latency and trigger jitter can be up to 1 line time since
exposure must always begin on an Interline boundary.
